Naruto: The Wind Calamity Chapter 728: Fujin’s Decisiveness!

Chapter 728: Fujin’s Decisiveness!

“Stop stalling time and attack him! Kill Fujin before he is reinforced!”

Immediately, five of the six reanimated ninjas rushed at Fujin. Only Sakumo stood in his spot, trying his best to resist the order.

Ice needles appeared between Haku’s fingers as he said, “My body… Zabuza-sama, my mind is clear but my body is moving on its own.”

Zabuza frowned while gripping his Kubikiribocho tighter. He replied, “That’s what this jutsu does. It forces us to fight as per the wishes of our summoner even if it is against our will…”

As he approached Fujin, Juzo, wielding a large black sword that reminded Fujin of Darui’s sword, said, “To think I’d get a rematch with you under such circumstances. It wasn’t what I wished but here I come!”

Unlike him, Kaminari laughed while conducting lightning through his sword made of chakra metal. He shouted, “I’ll first kill you, before taking revenge on Kakuzu! It was due to you that Kakuzu got an opening to attack me!”

As for the last person, he was awfully quiet until this point and didn’t carry any weapon. Strangely, he was also the fastest one to move! When he was just a couple of meters away from Fujin, a wide grin appeared on his face. Several sharp bones popped out of his body as he exclaimed in ecstasy, “To think I could battle even after my death! Haha, this is marvelous!”

The eyes of the Konoha ninjas widened. A couple of veteran ninjas shouted, “Fujin! Please stay away from him! He was the clan leader of the Kaguya clan and a rank S ninja! Don’t let him get close to you!”

From the barrier, Orochimaru glanced at the arena and thought with a smirk, ‘According to my original plan, I would have let Rasa deal with Fujin. Kimimaro would have assassinated whoever won. I predicted that Shikaku would make Jiraiya stay in the Hokage Building to deal with me and later send him to deal with my summons. I would have sent Guren along with the reanimated ninjas to take care of him.

Unfortunately, Rasa’s sudden change of heart disrupted my plans. Luckily, my summons can keep Jiraiya occupied for a while. Even if he comes here immediately, my next move will be enough to make the battle unsalvagable for Konoha.’

The Three Hokages began their battle while Fujin looked at five strong and unkillable ninjas coming at him with the intention to kill. Shirogane’s bones extended towards Fujin and touched his Wind Cloak. At that very moment, Shirogane and the eyes of the other four reanimated ninjas widened. Before any of them could react, all five were hit by intense winds and launched back like cannonballs at an even faster speed!

The eyes of all onlookers widened as they guarded against the intense wind current flowing from the Wind Cloak in every direction. Before they could stabilize themselves, another intense wind current was blasted behind Fujin, sending any unlucky ninja in its path flying for several dozen meters.

As for Fujin, he appeared in front of Sakumo in the blink of an eye and swung his sword straight at Sakumo’s throat!

Lightning coursed through Sakumo’s body, increasing his speed tremendously and allowing him to keep up with Fujin’s speed. He unsheathed a white tanto and swung it at Fujin’s sword in one smooth movement. Lightning circulated through it as well causing it to release a white light.

As their blade drew closer to each other, Fujin thought, ‘The White Fang, huh? A shame that he isn’t at his full strength and the circumstances don’t allow me to have some fun. Otherwise, it would have been a very fun duel.

In addition, his tanto is very good too. It is at least as good as my Kazekiri, if not even better. If I didn’t have the Kiba blades, I’d be tempted to steal his sword. It looks like Orochimaru has left no stone unturned to ensure the success of his assault.’

Everyone watched in anticipation as the blades of two extremely strong ninjas were about to clash. However, just when their blades were mere inches from each other, strong winds blasted towards Fujin’s right side, hurling him to his left.

Surprise appeared on Sakumo’s face as his blade cut through thin air. Before Sakumo could make sense of the situation, strong winds were blasted from the Wind Cloak as Fujin used the Assassin’s Rush jutsu once again.

The eyes of every ninja who heard Sakumo’s words earlier widened in shock as Fujin appeared right in front of Guren, his blade about to behead her.

Guren was shocked. She didn’t think that Fujin would try to kill her. She instinctively covered her entire body in crystal just before Fujin’s blade could hit her neck. Unfortunately for her, a vacuum core formed along the edge of the Kazekiri as it sliced through her crystal armor like a hot knife through butter. Her head flew off her shoulders and landed a few meters away. Shock could still be seen in her eyes as her head rolled some distance, before finally stopping.

For a moment, the entire battlefield grew quiet. Everyone looked at Fujin with a dumbfounded expression. After what Sakumo said, not a single person thought Fujin would do the exact opposite!

Even someone as calm and easygoing as Sakumo lost his cool for a moment. He angrily asked, “Did you hear a word I said? How will you stop us now?”

The very moment Guren’s head rolled, Kabuto glanced in her direction and cursed, “Shit!”

Kakashi took advantage of his momentary distractions and lightning chains ravaged Kabuto’s body! He was about to attack again when several Konoha ninjas appeared and said, “Kakashi-san, we’ll handle him. You please assist Councilman Fujin.”

Kakashi stopped and said, “Be careful, he is very strong and cunning. Wait for the sealing team to arrive.”

To Sakumo’s surprise, there wasn’t a change in Fujin’s expression. He calmly replied, “The Uchiha clan was almost entirely massacred. There are no Uchiha Jounins in the village.”

Sakumo’s eyes widened and disbelief appeared in his eyes. He muttered, “The Uchiha clan was massacred?”

Kaguya Shirogane began laughing as he got up. He exclaimed, “That pesky clan has no more Jounins? That’s good. It should have been massacred entirely!”

Considering that he led his own clan to their annihilation, everyone ignored the madman. Fujin continued, “Even if there were any Uchiha Jounins here, I won’t let a ninja, who can reanimate dead ninjas like you, stay alive on the battlefield. Besides, without her, no one can order you. So, help me defeat and seal the rest of them.”

As soon as he said it, Shirogane’s laughter died in an instant. A grim expression appeared on Kaminari’s face as well. Both looked at Sakumo, neither wanting to face that monster! At the same time, hope appeared in the eyes of Konoha ninjas while the Suna ninjas were even more terrified. Having already suffered disastrously at the hands of Fujin, they had no will to face Sakumo at the same time!

A few individuals flickered next to Fujin. Kakashi looked at Sakumo and muttered, “Father…”

Sakumo had already sensed Kakashi’s presence. To see him even in this condition was a present surprise. However, before he could talk with his son, he shouted, “Be careful!”

He unleashed several lightning rays at Fujin’s group, which were immediately intercepted by Fujin’s air bullets. Sakumo said, “I’m still not in control of my body.”

Fujin sighed and muttered, “As I suspected, that woman wasn’t the true user of the Edo Tensei jutsu. The real one must be…”

Fujin glanced in the direction of the barrier. An intense battle was taking place inside. However, Orochimaru was looking hatefully in Fujin’s direction. He cursed, ‘Fuck! That brat! I didn’t expect that he’d be so decisive!’

Orochimaru flickered to dodge Hiruzen’s jutsu as he thought, ‘Even though I have improved the Second Hokage’s Edo Tensei jutsu considerably, this jutsu still has a lot of limitations. I still can’t revive the ninjas at their full strength. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The bigger issue is distance. My control weakens considerably as the distance between me and the reanimated ninjas increases. For the time being, I can only keep two rank S ninjas under my control when they are away from me. I can control a few more Elite Jounins at the same time, but if I add a third rank S ninja, all three will break out of my control…’

Orochimaru frowned as he continued thinking, ‘Even though Sakumo and Shirogane are strong, they wouldn’t be able to defeat the Konoha ninjas led by Fujin and Jiraiya. Their job was more to whittle them down.

By the time they sealed these 6 ninjas, Guren would have summoned another 6 ninjas and attacked them when they were exhausted. However, I never anticipated that someone would just kill Guren, even after the complicated set of hand seals I gave her to fool everyone into thinking that she was the real summoner…’

Orochimaru flickered once again as a water jet and a fireball clashed at the spot he was standing in. As he analyzed the situation, Orochimaru realized how the battle would play out.

A grin appeared on his face as he suddenly began laughing. He thought, ‘It looks like the battle outside is a lost cause. To think that I’d lose even after putting in so much effort. No matter. I still have a couple of cards left. Even though I lost this battle, I’ll be the final victor in this war!’
